+## Relax request rate limits for logged-in users
+
+Sharkey limits how often each API endpoint can be used by each user,
+to prevent denial-of-service attacks and excessive load on the server.
+
+Some users, especially if they use the deck UI with many lists /
+antennas / people they follow, may hit those limits during their
+normal use of Sharkey.
+
+You can relax the limits for these users, or for all your local users,
+by creating a role with a "rate limit" value *smaller* than 100%. For
+example, 50% will let the users who get that role call the API twice
+as often (yes, it feels backwards, sorry).
+
+## Reduce the space used by caching remote files
+
+If you are caching remote files, you may have noticed that they take a
+lot of space which always grows (until you manually purge the cache).
+
+A simple way to limit that growth is to create a role, applied to all
+remote users, with a smaller "drive capacity". 10MB or 20MB seems to
+work fine.
